Western Azerbaijani Community Urges International Community To Exert Pressure On Armenia
(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 8. In recent days, the
Armenian government and parliament have issued statements that are
intended to disrupt the peace process by refusing to cancel
territorial claims to Azerbaijan at the constitutional level, the
statement of the Western Azerbaijani Community said, Trend reports.
Furthermore, it is noted that Armenian Parliament Speaker Alen
Simonyan rejected the steps that his country should take, both by
the requirement of international law and based on the logic of the
peace process, and tried to accuse Azerbaijan of unacceptable terms
such as "ethnic cleansing" and "genocide."
Rather than issuing destructive accusations, Alen Simonyan
should acknowledge his country's responsibility for the crimes
against humanity committed against Azerbaijanis in Gara Kilsa,
Basarkechar, Gafan, and other locations during the forced exile and
deportation of Azerbaijanis from Armenia. He should also work to
restore their rights, including ensuring the safe and dignified
return of exiled Azerbaijanis.
The Western Azerbaijan Community condemns the decision of the
Armenian government to opt for a path of confrontation and to steer
the prospects for peace in the region down an uncertain path and
calls on the world community to put pressure on this country to
take a constructive stance.
Legally succeeding the "Azerbaijan Refugee Society" Association,
which has been in existence since 1989, the Western Azerbaijan
Community is the only public organization that compiles and
maintains information on the circumstances of Azerbaijani families
who became refugees from Armenia between 1987 and 1991 as well as
the issues facing West Azerbaijani migrants. It was calculated
during those years that the displacement from West Azerbaijan had
caused losses to over 50,000 families, or about 20,000
households.
